CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Passersby did a double-take on Public Square during the Valentine’s Day lunch hour when two PETA members donned chili-pepper bikinis to hand out chocolates urging a healthy vegan lifestyle and to spare animal lives.

“Even in the freezing cold, vegans are hot,” said PETA assistant campaigner Amanda Slyter. “By going vegan, you not only save countless numbers of animals from the cruel slaughter house, but you also greatly reduce your risk of developing heart disease, cancer, diabetes and stroke.”

“You heat things up in the bedroom by starting in the kitchen,” said one of the bikini-clad volunteers.

The group is on a tour of large midwestern cities to spread their message to go vegan.
